((If you could, that'd be great!))
Dundee nodded as Agent Coulson gave him the heads-up about Saunders. "That's quite alright, sir. Usually I have my brother with me . . . but I guess he was here by the looks of it." he said, nodding towards the damage Arell had done. He let go as he headed towards the coffin. He put his laptop on the ground nearby and inspecting it, taking photos with a camera, and jotting down notes occasionally when he made it to the laptop.
"It appears that this DEFINITELY isn't from here. Maybe not even from the same SOLAR SYSTEM!" he said, a little overjoyed. AT LAST! If his UMBC astronomy and astrology teachers were here, he'd have taken the time to laugh in their faces for giving him a bad grade just because they didn't have sufficient proof to say that aliens didn't exist.
" . . . okay, probably took a little more excitement in that than I should have. My bad!" he chirped as he typed, exploring the language on the coffin.

 Alexander "Alexi" Stark Romanov Let me wrap my arms around you
Suffer the Trespasses that you‘ve made
I will take your pain away, forever and a day
If you‘d just call out my name, just whisper it
§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲ Alexi merely grunted as Coulson asked if he was ready. It seemed there would be a communication breakdown for a while. So in his big hulking form, Alexi stood behind Coulson like a menacing Shadow as he watched the individuals around them. HIs eyes targeted Songbird for a minute or so before diverting to Dundee but wherever Coulson went, he would go. And of course, if he asked him anything...he would do it. And without mercy or prejudice. ▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§
When you feel that something‘s wrong
I‘ll shelter you and keep you warm
I‘ll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me

As Dundee's laptop linked into Xavier's database back in Westchester and immediately the language base was identified as Rigellian. The displays were being translated: Subject: Reaper Zero

Dundee immediately sent the information back up towards Xavier's department but when he saw the information, his jaw dropped.
"Holy s**t . . . this thing's a human that was captured by Rigellian, and it's about to crack open!" he yelped as he got back. "We need a fifty foot perameter around this cyrocoffin right now! Be on your guard and stay back until we can figure out if this thing's friendly. It's taken out Shi'ar colonization on her own, she'll go through us, too!" he said.

[Enter Sun Shang Xiang from ..... being really really cold]  Slowly the outer shell of the cryocoffin opened and issued out a cloud of blue steam -- at least it appeared to be steam. After a few moments, a slightly gnarled blue hand emerged and tried to straighten itself out. As the exposed arm extended and straightened fingers, the bluish sheen evaporated away revealing pale skin. When the head and other arm emerged, what was withered skin slowly soothed out healing itself. Bleary green eyes look out from disheveled hair unable to fully focus on what the girl was seeing. The now obvious girl pulled herself out of the coffin only using her arms, since her legs haven't woken up yet. Pulling herself outward, gravity took over and the blue and pale whitish girl fell flat on her face. The young woman grunted in pain pulling a hand to her face, whilst laying flat on the flight deck. The bluish sheen evaporated completely away from the young woman fully exposing her body to the sun. Pale white skin slowly took on a light peach color. The nude woman managed to pull herself up to her elbows to look around. Unfortunately, the Chinese girl couldn't get her eyes to focus yet -- but she could tell that there where shapes close by that haven't closed in on her yet. She couldn't tell if they were her people or enemy. Shang tried to clear her throat and took a few more agonizing seconds to get her vocal cords to even work, "你好嗎？是誰在那裡？"

Dun' was confused for a minute. She was definitely human and very much alive. However, she was speaking Chinese!? Well, this certainly gave things a turn for the strange as all get out. Dundee looked at them and with an uneasy smile asked . . .
"Anybody here speak an' understand Chinese?"
"I THOUGHT HE WAS AWAKE WHEN WE TOOK CHINESE!!!"
((Whoooooah. Slow down, pardner. We took SPANISH, remember?))
Wait, WE did, DUN' didn't!
"Which would explain the flunking grades."

§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲ It was as the thing opened up that a...beautiful girl walked out? She seemed to stumble as she gathered her surroundings, Alexi stepping from Coulson and enacting a wall of shadow that others could see through behind him and Dundee. "我們沒有敵人。只是觀察你，新來者。我們剛剛完成了一個盛大的戰鬥之前，從你的睡眠覺醒，百合夫人." Simple enough, his voice was grating in his great dragon form but he was surprised he could speak it. He couldn't formulate english as it was too...well, distorted. BUt then he realized that he had communicated psionically again, as was the nature in this form. It seemed that the girl was one of teh few actually able to receive it...which was a relief. ▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§

Dundee saw the shadow wall and the voice reply to the woman in Chinese . . . which confused the s**t outta the poor guy! What I meant was a TRANSLATOR . . . this needs subtitles. he thought as he tried to get it but unfortunately, the poor sap was out of practice with his Chinese. As in grievously out of practice that he eventually took a step back and over to Coulson. "You wouldn't happen to know what they just said, would you, sir?" he asked Phil.

(To keep everyone's sanity from using translators, I'm going to make it easier for everyone to know what is being spoken in Chinese...) As Shang sat up on her knees, she used her hand to try to ... cover herself as best she can with one arm over her chest and the other hand covering her groin. Still blushing furiously, the Chinese girl glanced toward Dundee and then back to Shadow, <"'Lily Lady'? Oh... The flower. Ummmm.... Mighty Dragon, may I humbly request some clothes.... or are you wishing me to ..... be unclothed? Ummmm... Is this the afterlife? Or.... Wait...."> Sharp green eyes spy some of the lettering on Dundee's laptop, <"Western glyphs... Is this the lands of Wei Qin?">Shang's eyes drift up to Dundee's, and the Chinese girl tries to sound something out in a question, <" ..... 'Ru - Mai'?">.......................... An agent handed Coulson some clothing in his arms, then as he walked by Green Arrow and Songbird, "I think we can handle this girl. Would you two please follow my squad of agents entering the hangar. And give me a sitrep on the rest of the kids that I.O. was experimenting on? There should be light resistance, if Mr. L'Amour's one-man-assault on their communication tower is any indication. Maybe see if 'Batgirl' will go with you two.” Coulson strode toward Agent Shadow and spoke at Rhodey, "War Machine, could you assist on getting the kids out of I.O.'s labs. Thanks.” And finally to Shadow when he reached him, "Agent Shadow, here are some clothes that may or may not fit our guest. You can understand her alright? Her … dialect is bit off for me to fully make sense of.”…..................... Pulling out his Gladstone bag, Nightshade walked over to follow the agents inside the hangar. Along the way, various non-combat personnel of International Operations were surrendering to the armed SHIELD agents, ”Those kids will need medical attention immediately. There's no telling what their 'Doctors Mengele' have been up to.”

§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲ He had to think for a moment. Himself in this large form, he was never comfortable just because he could easily wreck objects around him. Being large had its benefits but subtlety was NOT one of them. Looking at Coulson, Alexi nodded as his tail curled the clothes on top of it, bringing his tail over to the girl to grasp the pieces of fabric. "" His voice was still that harsh, grating noise and he struggled to put the words together...who could blame him? Chinese was kind of a difficult language. Russian or English was his home turf.

 Shang looked very confused at Alexi, and tilted her head to the side while she accepted the clothing and asked, <"I am Sun Shangxiang and what is this.... 'America'? Is it the lands that lay north of 'Rumai' or Weiliu Qin? And if this is north of Weiliu, shouldn't this region be cold not arid hot? And.... What kind of clothing is this?">Alexi wouldn't know what 'Rumai' is supposed to be. It could be an attempt to name a particular place -- especially since she asked Dundee directly. And 'Weiliu' seems to be a reference to the land west of China. Qin would refer to a state, kingdom or empire.... ........................... Inside the hangar, various non-combat personnel of I.O.'s were surrendering to the SHIELD agents and the heroes going in. Jinx gave a confused look toward Nightshade, "Okay considering the fight we had coming into this place, does this seem really weird to you?""Yes it does. Keep your guard up though, let the agents handle this. We need to find those kids," Nightshade grimly responded. As Songbird took point with Green Arrow and a pair of SHIELD Mandroid armored troopers. The quartet found the ramp down to the next level below them. Quickly noting that this level was empty of anyone, set their nerves on edge. The Mandroids suddenly fired at a pair of automated gun emplacements that came to life. Melissa nodded at the agent with the mecha, "Good eye and nice shootin, 'Tex'. Glad you boys are on our side... and what the heck is that smell? It smells like somethin died... Like a lot of ...."The color seemed to drain from Songbird's face, as she tentatively walked down the ramp past the now dead gun emplacements. Blue eyes spied a group of dead bodies with burn marks on them -- that seemed to be consistent with the energy weaponry the Black Talons use. All of the corpses appeared to be teens that have been twisted in some way -- altered away from normal human appearance. One girl that seemed to frozen in time in the middle of a scream possessed tentacles for arms. Melissa's hand went to her mouth staring wide eyed at the carnage of dozens of teens on this floor, "Oh my God.... What kind of monsters are these people to .... do this to kids...."Eko Domini Tsurugi Sorry, I forgot that you asked for her name.

Dundee looked at the laptop. Then he realized. s**t! He could translate this. He had by then gotten the translations up and pulled up what she was referring to. "Ma'am, this is gonna be hard to explain. You're west. REALLY, REALLY WEST and in the year 2014." he tried to explain as he face palmed himself again. Well THAT didn't help! he thought before running what he just said through the translator and said it back.
<"Err, what I meant to say was, is that you are extremely west of where you were before and in the year 2014. I know it's a little tough to understand, but please forgive us. We're the good guys, if you will."> Dundee tried to explain, his Mississippi twang cutting through as he did his Chinese as best that he could.

Time Skip! [All characters are being moved to appropriate locations] ....... SHIELD agents continue to go over every inch of the I.O. base. Personnel were being questioned, and materials being secured in set for transport for further analysis. The surviving teens of I.O's experiments have already been moved to the safety of the SHIELD Helicarrier or Xavier's Institute.

Wolverine had lost contact with the other heroes and his fellow teammates. He wandered aimlessly around the outside of the base. No sentinels could be found. That was something he was grateful for. He kept trekking as hisbroken ribs fixed themselves. He wished he had a cigar right about now or some beer. He hoped for the impossible; that he'd find a bar before danger. He hated how hot the sun was. It beamed on his sweating head. He needed directions out of this place. He lacked a GPS but tried tracking scents, a lot of scent trails were in the air. He looked where they were strongest, "Damn it. Where is everyone?"
